Now I am excited to announce that Kiefer Sutherland joins Adkins Publicity just in time for a new forthcoming album and tour. I am hoping that he is somewhere local this year as I have yet to see him perform live. Have you?

I was saddened to learn today of the passing of Daryle Singletary. I remember seeing him in concert several years ago in Christiansburg, Va. It was a fabulous show with him, Jeff Carson, Chad Brock and Jo Dee Messina. It was a fabulous show and, believe it or not, it was free! What?! A local car company was cool enough to put it together and I am so glad that I was able to go. Daryle Singletary was a fabulous artist and that song, “I Let Her Lie” is one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful songs that I have ever heard. I feel so sad for his family and friends right now. He will be greatly missed.

The country music community is reacting to the sudden passing of beloved singer Daryle Singletary:

It made me realize that life is a gift, and none of us are promised tomorrow. I’ll miss him.” -Ricky Skaggs

“Daryle was a fine singer who always knew exactly what to do with a song. His vocals conveyed authentic emotion right on par with the greats.

He loved to talk about his four children, and my thoughts and prayers are with Holly and the kids.” -John Anderson

He was admired by all of us for representing traditional country music.” -Pam Tillis

“Dancy’s Dream” is one of my absolute favorite songs from the 90s. That was when country groups were just so amazingly good, don’t you agree? And Restless Heart was definitely one of my favorites. As far as I am concerned, “The Bluest Eyes In Texas” is one of the best country ballads of all time. And “Wheels” is just so much fun! I can’t wait to catch them on the road this summer. Check out their tour schedule and start making plans now, people! 🙂 [Read more…]
